Title: Starfish TrueSync Desktop Password Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Starfish Software's TrueSync Desktop is a personal information manager (PIM) software for Windows commonly used with wireless and wireline devices.
The TrueSync Desktop software provides users the ability to set a password for protecting stored files. The software employs a trivial method of protecting passwords. User passwords are stored in the system registry, under the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Starfish\TrueSync Desktop\Version 1\PASSWORD\pswd
Further, no encryption is used to protect password data, the software simply obfuscates it by printing a concatenation of the ASCII decimal representation for each character used in a password. For example, "abc" is stored as "097098099".
Affected Products:
- Starfish Software TrueSync Desktop 2.0.0
